Who is ready for February?
Hopefully, January’s storms did not cause too much damage, other than the inconvenience of no power or internet!
I heard this week that due to the FAFSA delays, colleges will not receive information until the end of March. Undoubtedly, this will delay financial awards. I will keep you posted as I learn more and please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
As always, I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and your family. If you know someone who would benefit from my service, please share my contact information!
